Castrum Meridianum and The Praetorium have been reworked since patch 6.1, making this plugin obsolete.
An Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) Plugin to show how much time is left in FFXIV Castrum/Praetorium cutscenes.
Since Castrum and Praetorium are full of long, unskippable cutscenes, I'll often tab out to do other things when they start playing. However, to make sure I catch when the cutscene ends, I'll often tab back in to check the cutscene progress. I found this really annoying, so this plugin aims to remove the need for that. It parses ACT messages to detect when a cutscene begins, and shows a timer counting down to when the cutscene ends.
